Forums - Microsoft - Should I Jump In??

Looks like a good deal. I say go for it if you want to play those games. I would buy it if I wasn't mad at Microsoft.

If you have both consoles, the games you listed are really all the 360 has to offer. I strongly suggest you do not buy it as you will only end up being disappointed. You don't seem to be the online shooter kind of person... I'm not bashing the 360 here as those are great games and it is a half decent console, but you're going to end up wasting money. There is no reason to have both consoles if you own a ps3, there is only a reason to buy a ps3 if you only have a 360.

360 exclusives are nothing to speak of, and unless you care about a slightly better multi platform game.. well, there's no point in owning one. The question you're asking is..
In your very biased opinion



Is halo 3, the gears series, Forza and basically non noticeable graphics enhancement worth 457$? Because there's nothing coming out for the 360 the ps3 doesn't beat. Besides Alan Wake, that's all I have a 360 for because Microsoft paid the devs to keep it off PC. It's a sin really.

So graphics are all that matter?

Look at the exclusives, that is what makes the decision. XBL is in no way shape or form better than PSN when it comes to the online experience of similar games. You will never lag on either, and there's a hell of a lot less 12 year old boys on PSN.

Rubbish

If the following games interest you, get a 360, but just understand that this is all the system has to offer.

Halo 3
Gears 1/2
Forza 2 & 3
Alan Wake
Splinter Cell: Conviction (better on pc)
Fable 2 (I highly doubt anyone would want a console for this, LAIR is a better game, and LAIR is crap.) < Again most of the sane gaming community disagree, I'm starting to think you can't be unbiased to save yourself.

Some pretty amazing games.. especially Alan wake, splinter cell and the gears series.
however, ignoring Alan Wake
Splinter Cell is nothing compared to MGS < Your biased opinion
Fable 2 is nothing compared to Demon Soul's < your biased opinon
Forza 3 could be great, but it will most certainly not be as good as Gran Turismo 5, and even if it's an equal, there's no reason to have 2 car games..
Gears 1/2 are great, I love them very much, but you look like an uncharted fan from your sig.. Uncharted does pretty much everything gears does but better. Uncharted 2 will be game of the year for sure. < no and lol and your biased opinion
Halo 3 is the only game there that has an undeniably better experience than the ps3 does, the online shooter bit. But Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 are very close, and even then, COD4/MW2 are better than all of them.

As for XBL titles, the only 2 XBL titles to make XBL better than PSN are braid and castle crashers, both of which are coming to PSN. This now makes PSN vastly superior to XBL when it comes to titles as it has the best XBL ones + all the best PSN ones so..

Utterly hilarious, there is more on XBL than CC and Braid. I don't see any 90+ rated PSn games ... Where is your Shadow Complex? Splosion Man? Geomtry Wars? Portal? and the rest that score higher than most PSN games?

It's up to you, but don't let 4 games make you buy a console. I loathe every day I see my 360 and the only time I'm going to like it is when I get Alan Wake.
~
It's 4 games in your opinion, the OP might like a few more than 4 seen as .. well you know he doesn't seem biased if he is looking at the console. I'm sure if you didn't hate the 360 so much you would be prasing more games than 4



Heck PC has a better casual market than XBL does, did you see the steam deal? GET THAT.

 

Really pathetic post. You added nothing to the discussion.

Well, I don't think you should be throwing stones Skeeuk as you aren't exactly clean of the sinners taint neither.

Anyway thanks for the compliment and I do think you've made great strides too but as I said whenever anyone craps on a thread like digitalentourage just did I'll roast them alive. 

As far as I care the OP can do whatever he/she/it wishes with his/her/its money.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

That is a great deal.



To be honest I would never recommend someone to buy a 360 because of the problems I had went through with my 360 from the rrod to my games getting srcatched and other stuff that the 360 gave me headaches for. Anyway the bundle is good. You get 4 games that are popular on the 360. I played them all except Forza 2. If you have the money to buy it and you wantt to buy it, then go for it. So enjoy.

I love how most of the people on this site that have had disc scratching and RROD are big fans of Sony.

Rofl. Rabid PS3 fanboy is mad somebody's interested in a 360.

This post added a lot to the discussion, btw calling someone a fanboy is agaisnt the rules..

 

So is spewing drivel.

Since you just turned the thread right into the shitbin, why don't we start with the big guns? How about he should buy a 360 for the superior version of most multiplatform games? How about he should buy a 360 not to wait a year+ (or never get them) for many jrpgs? We should be talking as well about maybe he should buy an xbox not to be forced to install games? Or buy it for many XBLA games besides these two, games like shadow complex or ikaruga for example? We could mention as well that he should be buying a 360 to play right now a good racer instead of spending his time shitposting on the forums about how good GT5 is gonna be? What about buying it for the most dedicated online gaming community?

Or to put it simply, he should buy a 360 because it's the leading high definition hardware.


no it isnt....................^^^

He meant leading when referring to hardware sales of home consoles, and yes, he's right.

Also, to that guy who tried to say that PSN's arcade library almost matches up to XBLA...will somebody post that XBLA thread I saw a few days back, and own him for me? I don't feel like doing it.

The biggest thing the 360 has over the competition, besides price, is amount and availability of DLC and downloadable games via XBLA.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Just regarding that last line I'm definitely a guy. Lady gaga on the other hand

The 1st console this gen I brought was the 360.  360 fans also say they got the rrod and had they games scratched so does that make them a Sony fan too.

Note where I said most and not all, would help for you to actually read what I posted.
